C2000™ 32-bit microcontrollers

C2000 real-time controllers are a portfolio of high-performance microcontrollers that are purpose-built to control power electronics and provide advanced digital signal processing in industrial and automotive applications. In over 20 years at the forefront of the analog to digital control revolution, C2000 MCUs have evolved to provide precision sensing, powerful processing, and premium actuation to enable engineers to create the world’s most efficient power control systems.

Sense feedback, process the response and actuate control systems with minimal latency.

C2000 real-time control MCUs use a proprietary 32-bit core - the C28x CPU - offering single-cycle operations and up to 300 MIPS coupled with a highly-optimized peripheral and interrupt management bus. With powerful, integrated peripherals, these real-time, single-chip control solutions are designed for a variety of control applications.

More performance per MHz and unique acceleration let you do more than the average MCU.

The C28x math-optimized core gives designers the flexibility to improve system efficiency and system reliability. As a cross between a microcontroller and a digital signal processor, C2000 real-time controllers bring the code density and execution speed of a DSP with the ease of use and accessibility of a microcontroller.

When combined with the high performance C28x CPU core, fast and efficient processing power required for complex real-time control systems can be realized. There are four available integrated on-chip hardware accelerators that dramatically increase the performance of the C2000 MCU:

Embedded real-time controllers need purpose-built peripherals to deliver integrated system-on-chip solutions for the most demanding closed-loop control systems. Sensing peripherals with the proper speed, accuracy, and resolution that coordinate with actuation (timing) peripherals - which apply the processed calculation to the control system – are required, along with industry standard communication peripherals to implement connected and intelligent applications.

The C2000 platform offers a variety of analog peripherals, such as ADC, DAC, programmable gain amplifiers, comparators, sigma-delta filters, and high-resolution capture for the purpose of increasing fidelity of control system inputs while reducing system costs.
